Detailed Description

Delphi applies OE steering expertise to its aftermarket portfolio, and the TA6360 follows that approach with attention to fit, material selection, and durability. This left outer tie rod end is engineered for the steering linkage on Mazda 929 models from 1992 through 1995, helping restore proper steering geometry when the original component is worn or damaged. Delphi subjects its steering components to extreme temperature and corrosion testing, including sub-zero and high-heat exposure as well as extended salt spray testing, to evaluate performance under demanding conditions. The TA6360 also features a chloroprene rubber dust boot, plastic bearing material, and clockwise thread direction at both ends.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Issues This Part May Address

• Loose or vague steering feel
• Front-end alignment problems
• Uneven tire wear caused by steering linkage wear
• Clunking or play in the left outer steering connection
• Visible wear, corrosion, or boot damage at the tie rod end

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the left outer position before installation and verify thread direction, thread diameter, and overall dimensions against the removed part. After replacement, a professional wheel alignment is recommended to restore steering geometry and tire wear characteristics. Inspect the mating steering components for wear so the new tie rod end is not installed against a damaged linkage.

Quality Assurance

Delphi uses OE-oriented testing and dimensional analysis to support consistent aftermarket fitment and performance. The TA6360 is evaluated for temperature extremes and corrosion resistance as part of Delphi’s steering component validation process.
